The Delaware Senator on the Policy ‘ofthe New Administration. It Must be Thoroughly Independent—A New and Well-Equipped Navy Absolutely Necessary—The Abuses and Inconsisten- cies of the Present Tariff to be Corrected. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. WasSHINGTON, January 31.—I had a short talk with Senator Bayard Thursday morning in the study of his modest house at 1413 Massachusetts avénue. Adjoining him, on one side, is the room of Senator Edmunds, while Mr. Justice Miller lives on the other. | Two or three squares east is the residence of Sena- tor Garland, and between the houses ot the two @is- fF tinguished Senators is Thomas Circle, in the center of which is the noble equestrian statue of General Thomas. Senator Bayard has just come from break- fast and he looked as fresh and buoyant as a youth- ful athlete. Heis an admirable man, both to look at and listen to. Reports of his deafness must have been exaggerated. I sat half way across the room from him. and | could not discover that he had much difficulty in hearing all I said in an ordinary tone of voice. He began by asking about Lieuteb- ant Gorringe, formerly of the navy. in whom he seems to take great interest. “I heard be was very sick in New York. he said, “and | feel really solic- nous about him, for HE IS A FINE FELLOW, f a man of uncommon ability. aud one who might be of splendid service. His case _ illustrates 1 great injustice that prevails in tne army and navy. Ie no reason way our naval and military schools should not educate mento take civil positions and yet retain their official rank. Gorr ng? was one of the brigh est young men in the navy. It was be, you know, who made all the plans for bring ng over the Egyptian obelisk that now stands in Ceutral Park, New York. Obelisks have been broughtaway from Egypt by both the En lish and the French, but they did not accom- plish the removal with anything like the skill and success that characterized the work of Gorringe. Well, when he ha done with the obeiisk, he gota long furlough and secured very profitable employment as @civ)) en- gineer. Being on furlough, his pay from the Gov- ernment was only nominal, Secretary Chaodler heard what he was doing and put him on wading orders, which meant that te had to come to Wash- ington and ive up the private enterprise which he had in charge. He resolved to resign rather than submit to av order which he felt was issued rather TO ANNOY HIM than for any other purpose. As it is now, when an officer from the army or navy goes on furlough, he is not aliowed to receive a dollar, how- ever capable ne may be. or whatever he may ds. beyond the trifling amount he is paid by the Go ernment.” “This suggests a question, Senator.“ said 1 “Do you believe the Secretary of the Navy far Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet should be selected from the navy itself?" “Oh, lam not sure of that. Of one thing, how- ever, I am sure, and that is, whoever may be the man chosen for that place, be should go in to stay. am sure of another thing—-he should not be a politician. The danger of taking a man from tne navy for Sec- retary of the Navy, is that he will net ve — in the administration tis offlce. Both tue y and the army are ful! of LITTLE RINGS AND CLIQUES, and it is hard to ind a man in either service who would not be too much influenced by these. Still. we might find a very able and mpartial mechanic in the navy When i say mechanic here, I mean more thar handicraftsman. I mean a mechanic in the great and broad sense of the word. We want a man to built up the navy and make it an arm of defense and offense, in which the coun try can feel secure, and of which every citizen will be proud. I say again, wherever the Secretary of the Navy comes from, he should gointostay. We do not want tosee repeated the shameful spectacie of four changes in the head of the Navy Depart ment in lessthan four years. First, there was Tbompson of Indiana, — by Hayes: then a gentleman named Goff, fresh from the trout streams of West Virginia; then Hunt from Louis- jana and finally that mdustrious litician, Mr. Chandler, from New Hampshire he record of the American navy for the last twenty years has been one that no citizen can look upon witnout feel- ings of the deepest humiliation and indignation, tov, for there have been MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SQUANDERED upon that department through incompetency if not dishonesty. There was Robeson who, whatever be may be as a man, was totally unfit for Secretary of the Navy. The curse of the office bas been the small political tyranny that s reigned over it. It has been wantouly prostituted to the base ends of political scheming aud job- bery. Wecan never build a navy io that way, So, L say most emphaticaily, if we are now to have a railway. a man must go into the Secretaryship with a system in view. He must have deflunne aims and pians, and to their develop:nent he must zive his pacenutattention. He must undertake bis wor« unincumbered, unhampered, with but a single patriotic purpose in mind. He must go at it as a business man with common sense and practical methods. He wouid havea large force of capable officers, many of whom are now absolutely idle. Wuy can't we utilize these? ‘ihereare docks to build. Tue United States navy DOES NOT OWN A SINGLE DOCK. It does not own a single orduance foundry. not cast a siugie gun. We must not only have ordnance foundries aid docks, but we must bare Lew coast line defenses, new ships and a well equipped torpedo service. In the line of explosives, there are great things to be done. The methods of naval warfare have radically changed in twenty years, and we have not made evena beginning at keeping pace with the progress made by other first-class m&at.ous. The new adiministra:ion will come face to face with the probiem of a natiovual navy, and the ou.y way to solve the probiem is to take hold of it in a busi- ness way, free {rom political jobbery.“ “J take it then, Senator, that you believe that the new adounistrauon should be a business adminis- tration?“ Most certainly, I do. tion, Democratic, 01 it, will be conironted by the The Republicans have left us a heritage of They have disposed of nothing.

They HAVE DONS NOTHING FOR AMERICAN SHIPPING. They have left us the wreck of a navy. The new administration must undertake to dispose of the problems arising out oi this condition of things. How it shall ro- ceed is a momentous question. If itis to be con- trolied by political tyranny, such as that which has held sway of recent years, it will soon sink and go to ruin, as it ought to. Unless it is to occupy a higher ground in this respect than the administra- tions that have recently preceded it, I want nothing to do withit. 1 have been here and I know how things have been done. I have seen the infamies of partisan supremacy and greed. If I rightly inierpret the influences by which Mr. Cleveland was elected, he comes bere free from embarrassing obligations, and can adopt such a policy as he, in bis own heart and conscience and judgment, may hold to be best for the whole country. His election was not so much a party triuiuiph as A TRIUMPH OF HONESTY AND REFORM. He was not elected by Democrats alone. The 200,000 majority be received when he was elected Governor of New York was made up largely of Republicaus. There is a certain powerful and weil detined public sentiment to which he owes allegiance, and if he is faithful to the promptings of that sentiment, he will not submit to the dicia- tion of the politicians.” “May Lask you here, Senator, what you thinkof the opposition that is being made to the appoint- ment of Senator Garland tothe place of Attorney- General?

Chalmers— Personal Anecdotes. — a Correspondence of the Post-Dispatch. WasmINaTon, D C., January 29.—Continuing the skétcbes of ex-Confederates in public life; it may be remarked that there are over fifty menin the House who served the Coufederacy, either in its councils or upon the field. It is a remarkable fact that more than fifty per cent. of the Representatives from the States composing the Confederacy are men who served that cause, wiile less than twenty-five Per cent. of those from the other States are ex- Union soldiers. Beginning again with the list of States alphabetically arranged. it is found that six of Alabama's members in the House were in the Confederate army. Mr. Jones of the First District entered the service as a private soldier, serving four years in various capacities. Mir Herbert en- tered the service as captain, and was colonel when so badly wounded at the battle of the Wilderness. Mr. Shelley entered the service as a lieutenant, and left it at the close of the war a brigadier general. Mr. Forney, who was in the Mexican war, entered the Confederate service as a captain, and was capt- ured at Appomattox Court House a brigadier gen- eral. Mr. Herbert entered the service as a private. and was a captain when so severely wounded at Chickamauga. Mr. Oates, who carries an empty sleeve, entered the service as captain, and after be- ing wounded five times and fighting twenty-seven engagements, lost his right arm in front of Rich- mond a brigadier general. One day, about a year ago, when Geueral Grant was here, he hobbled into the House on his crutches. Mr. Randall moved that the House take a recess for ten minutes to pay its respects to him. The members fell in line and filed by to shake hishand. When Oates came by Grant caught sight of his empty sleeve. “WHERE DID YOU LOSE THAT ABM?" he asked In front of Richmond,” was the reply. No other word was spoken, but he warinth of manner with which Grant grasped the remaining hand, and the ardor wit which be shook it, spoke e, oqueut and touching words. Prom Arkansas, Mr. Dunn, whose name has been conspicuous in the Senatorial truggie there. was in the Confederate army during the entire war. while Mr. Jones, his most active competitor ih the Sena- torial fleht. bas the honor of having been from beginning 1 end of the Mar a priwate soldier in the service. r. Rogers of the same State was a pri- vate at the beginning of the war, but a tieutenant at its close, while Mr. Pee! of that State, who en- tered the Confederate service as a private, was a colonel at the close of the war. Of tne two members from Florida, one (Davidson) was a Confederate, having entered the service from the State Senate as captain, being made a major and then lLeuienant colonel, and serving as such until dangerously wounded in 1864. Mr. Hardeman of Georgia. who was a member of the Thirty-Sixth Congress, left it to take the fleld for the Confederacy, becoming captain, thea major, and then colonel. Mr. Buchanan of that State was also a member of the Southern army, serving from the beginning to near the ciose of the war. Mr. Candier was a private, then leuten- ant, tnen a captain, then a lientenant-colonel, and then a colonel. Mr. Crisp was a lieutenant in the Twelfth Virginia and was captured in May, 64. and sent to Fort Delaware, where oner o fwar until 1865. - JOE BLACKBURN. Kentucky has in the House as distinguished an ex-Confederate as in the Senate—Col. Joe Black. burn. He entered the service at the bezinning of the war and served to the end. He is one of the most popular members that the State has had in a long tine. too, as shown by his recent elect ion to the Senate to succeed Old Cerro Gordo Wiliams. Few men are more asked for from the doors or gal- leries than Joe“ Blackburn. and if he was as good a fighter in the Confederacy as in Congress he earned the shoulder straps he wore. E. John Ellis of Louisiana volunteered jn the Southern army five days after the close of his col- legiate course, and served with distinction to the end of the war. Carleton Hunt of that State, rep- resenting its First District, educated at Harvard, oined the Confederate army at the — ant of the war, being made a captain of ar- tillery, and serving to the end of the war. Mr. ion of the Sixth District entered the service as a private and came out with the rank ofa cap- tain. J. Floyd King, who was educated for West Point. but preferred the University of Virginia, en- tered the Confederate army as a private, being pro- moted through the various grades to the position or colonel of artillery, receiving several offers of ser vice in foreign armies at the close of the war. He is spoken of by those who served with him as a very brave figiter, but peculiar in his manner, as he is in Congress. Maryland distinguishes herself hy sending two men who served throughout thé war as privates, Mr. Talbott and Mr. Hob itzeli. Mr. Talbott was a member of the Second Maryland Cava ry to the ciose of the war, Mr. Hoblitzell being a private in the First Maryiand Infantry and serving to the end, resuining his profession at the close of the service. Mississippi sends two men who were menibers of the Confederate Congress, Mr. Barksdale aud Mr. Singleton. Mr. Barksdale was a member of tne Lower House of Congress during the entire exist- ence of the Confederacy. Mr. Singleton was a member of the House before the wear. withdrew on the secession of Mississippi and was elected to the Confederate Congress, served there until 1865, and was sont back to Congress after the war, having been a member ever since the Forty-fourth Con- gress. Mr. Muldrow served in the . alederate army from beginning to end of the war, being colonel of cavalry waen captured at Fors\the.

Missouri Sends tuo ex-Confederates, Mr. Hatch and Mr. Graves, the latter having served under For- rent and being parolied with kim at Guinesville, Ala. Colonel Hatch was cummissioned as cn ain aod assistaut adjutan'-general in the ¢ onfederate cor vice. and was in 1863 assigned to duty as Assis- ont Commissioner of Excitaize under tne cartel, continumg in tis position to the close of the war. Nortu Caro.ina sends five ex-Confederates: Col- one: Bennett. wu entered the service as a private and came out a co.onel; Wharton J.

It seems that there can no longer be any doubt that a ring in St. Louis having, very possibly, con- ‘nections in other parts of the State, has attempted to engage in the business of pardon-broking. No one, who will read the facts spread out below, can have any reasonable doubt that money was to be collected, the consideration being the pardon of wealthy felons. Whether this money was so used or got it remains either for the Grand Jury or an in- vest igating committee of the Legislature to deter- mine. That certain people have attempted to collect money from the friends of prisoners is certain, So far the Post-DispatcH can only p resent cases where this attempt was made and failed. If there are instances where money actually was paid, they have not come to light, nor is it probable that they will do so unless some means of compelling testimony is to by the authorities. The air, for weeks past, has been murky with rumors that none could trace to a responsible origin of the valueof money as part of a plea for pardon from the Penitentiary. How general these rumors were may be learned from ex-Governor Crittenden's statement below given that the aliega- tions had reached his own ears in such a form that he found it wise to dispatch a special messenger to St. Louis to warn Colonel Thoroughman and Mr. Brown that the payment of one dollar to anybody would result in his determined refusal of a pardon for Russell Brown. What was the story that_reached-Governor Crit, tenden? There were several afloat and it may have been any of them. Mr. Ben Davenport frankly admits that he proposed to Colonel Thoroughman to get Russell Brown pardoned for $5,000, and su b sequently for $3,000, hoping to omplish his pardon by the intercession of friends. But if rumor speaks correctly, Mr. Davenport's proposal, sensational as it was, and as his explanation below affecting Mr. Joseph McEntire, the Coal Oil Inspector will be seen to be, was but one chapter of the story, and there phases of the effort to get Russell Brown pardoned which Mr. Davenport and the persons with him knew little or nothing about. It had come to be generally understood, on the streets, that before Governor tteuden's adminis- tration ended arre McChesney, Brown others would be rdoned. It had come to be generally believed t there was money in the Russell Brown case. and that more than one set of men were working independently for this money. It was positively asserted that 10, would pardon the murderer of old Mrs. Dorriss. and while Mr. Joseph Brown himself was unable to raise that amount of money, it is said that his friends were willing to do so. Those who pretend to know say that the money could have been raised, but that the hitch arose not from the difficulty in tting the $10,000, but in getting a man from whom the parties on the otherend of the string would dave taken it. If this is true, the $5,000 proposition made to Mr. Thoroughman is difficult to understand, except as an independent and unauthorized attem pt to get into the trade forthe pardon, which Mr. Davenport or some of his friends knew was on the 8. he statements of all the principals will be found below, and the eductions are evident. The other cases Fear out the inferences to be drawn from the Russell-Brown matter and speak for themselves. They are those of Jack Donou 00. who was sent to the penitentiary for tive years for killing a man named Koop, and of Edgar Moore who was sent up for life for killing Mabel Hall, A singer atthe old Theater Comique, several years ago. The stories in detail are as follows: Mr. Thoronghman’s Experience. A reporter called on Mr. Thos. Thoroughman and asked him what was Mr. Ben Davenport's connec- tion with the effort to get a rdon for ; Brown, for whose father —— 2 — acting as counsel. Mr. Thoroughman said that he would much prefer saying nothing about the mat- ter, but upon being farther pressed he said. 1 do not know why Mr. Davenport came to me, but he did so. and offered his services in securing a pardon for Russell Brown . He afterward offered to do it or $3,000. Mr. Jos. Brown was in my office at the time, and I stepped in and told him Davenport's offer. Mr, Brown declined it, saying that he did not have the money, and, more than that, that he did not believe Davenport could do anything. “What was Davenport going to do witb this money! : “My understanding was that it was to be paid to bim for his own use; as a legal fee to be earned by getting Brown out of the penitenttary. - ts tell you how he hoped to secure the “Yes, either at that time or su uently.

Ie then asked me to call at his office on the following Saturday. I didn't call, but he came back on Monday before Ch and suid that if any- thing was to be done it would have to done at once. I had previously consulted — friends of mine and they advised me not to bin myself to give any money for Edgar's pardon, as the Governor would probably grant the pardon anyhow. I asked Mr. Uppercu if he would call and see my brother-in-law, but he did not call in the evening and I did not see him untit the following Monday, when he called here again. I did not — at his one “ any time. * “Did you give Mr. Uppercu any money? “No. 1 nadn't enough to offer when he first made the pro tion. “Did be name any amount?” | “No, I think be asked if I would guarantee him a fee.

I don't know who else was re- ferred to.“ N “Did Colonel William Heath subsequently make a pr. position to your” “No. The other proposition was made before these I speak of.“ “When was this one made?” “T think it was in ere 47 week.“ “Was it made, as I stated, by Heath!“ don't know who it was I never saw the gen- tleman before he came here. He gave me his card, which 1 have not now, and said his name -was Heath, and that he was in the real estate business. id he state that through a State official living in this city he could, for the sum of $2,000, obtain a pardon for your son.“ “No, I think bis intentions were to give me any help he cquid, and I don't want to say anything about him\f possible.” “Is the s ment true that he named Mr. —— as the official?” “No, . You must not say this, as it is not a fact. Tl tell vou £ I must what the facts are. He came here and said he knew my son, and that he could, with the assist- he a prison official, get a pardon for Edgar for 2.000.“ “Did he say it was a Penitentiary official?” “No, Ithink he said it was some ex-official— some one who had been connected with the Peni- tentiary. I hope this will not do Mr. Heath or any he prison officials any hati. Whenever | went to see Edgar they treated me very | considerably, and he told me that they were very kind to him.” a Was this the first proposition ever made to you about the pardon?” “Yes, this was the first.” M bat did you do about it?” “Well, I told bim that I was poor, and could not get this much money, and I had no hopes of doing so. It was after be left that I asked some friends of mine what would do abour the matter, and they advised me not to do anything. I want to say that whenI told Mr. Heath that I could not get the money. he promised me he would do what he could whether he got any money for himself or not. ' “Did, Mr. Heath say who had sent him?“ “No. Ile said nothing more than I tell you. I think his intention was to help we himself, inde- pendent of whoever else was connec with him in this.” A call was made at the office of E. S. Warner & Co., the real estate firm on Eighth street, where Col. Heath was formerly employed, but the re- porter was informed that Mr. Heath was now to be seen at Room 6, Insurance Building, Broadway and Olive streets. A call was paid to his office and Col. Heath was found and informed of the identity of his caller. „Col. Heath, have you any ob- jection to stating who you rep- resented in the proposition made to Mrs. Moore to secure a pardon for $2,000?" What Mrs. Moore? what pardon’ “Mrs, Moore, the mother of Edgar M. Moore, and for the pardon of her son.” “I never made any proposition to secure a pardon for 82.000.“ Vid you offer to do so for any sum!“ “No, sir.” “On whose behalf did you call on Mrs. Moore?” “On my own, sir. I know Edgar Moore, and I was desirous of seeing him pardoned, I heard from Judge Wm. C. Jones that Governor Crittenden was going to pardon Moore.” Do you know where Judge Jones got his infor- mation? “[ think he said that Governor Crittenden told him so in the rotunda of the Southern Hotel when he was in the city.” “Why, then, did you call on Mrs. Moore!“ “I called on her to ask if anything was done con- cerning the pardon, but I did not make any money proposition concerning it.“ Donahue's Pardon. In the case of John Donahue released, from the Jefferson City Prison on the 10th of January by pardon from Governor Crittenden,an unusually wild and terrible effort was made to obtain money. — June pleaded guilty to manslaughter for having Milled an ex-co nvict. Jacob Koop, ao was claimed at the time by Donahue himself and his friends, in self-defense. ‘The prisoner entered his plea with the understanding that he would receive a five years’ sentence. This he got. Previous to making thetrip westward some of the newspapers published a romantic and highly colored account of Donchue's marriage to a Vell. connected young lady, who was represented as pos- sessed of alarge amount of weaith. The sharks took all this in and never lost sight of it. Donahue had not been in the “Pen” a week, it is said, before the pardon people were on to him, and an effort was made to induce his relatives to secure the services of some Jefferson City lawyer, through whom it was hoped the Donahue’s purses might opened and reached. This was not done, however good friends here. advising them against such a course, Just how far the importunities went is not known. Donahue himself, who was seen by a Post-DisparoH reporter. refused to give any statement for publication, setting forth as a excuse for his silence the fact that he had been nico treated by all the prison officials and had no desire to say anything in any shape against them. From some persons to whom he had been communic- Catlive, though, it was learned that he had not been in Jefferson City many days before a guard, who reads the letters of the prisoners, appeared in the shop where he worked and asked the foreman or abother guard to point out Donahue. The pris- oner left his bench in response to the guard's command, and a conversation very much like the following ensued: Guard—Your nameis Donahue? Prisoner— Yes, sir. G Dome of your relatives are coming up to see Gu! P.—I suppose they will. G.—Are they goipg to try to get you out? P.—1 don't know; but they may. G. — Well, you'd like to get out, wouldn't you, and just as soon as you can? P.—Of course, I would. RL 4 do 7 — 4 to get out? *—ILcan’t say.

Yon know your own business best, I guess. Go back to work The prisoner returned to work, and the guard said no more to him about getting out. This con- versation, which is alleged to have occurred in Don- ahue’s case, is only a sample of the initiatory talk which all prisoners supposed to have any means - the outside are treated to. It has its meaning . in some cases, it is possible, may lead to — 2 negotiations for a pardon. It did not in nahue's case, as the young man secured his re- lease entirely on the merits of bis case and without the payment of one cent of money. Through Mr John J.

I dissuaded John’s wife for the time from paying any attention to the indirect messages that the early came from the lawyer. lu part of m Mr. Jennings ob- tained a letter from Editor MecCuilagh to Governor Crittenden. John's wife thought she ought to get an answer right away and kept on losing hope and growing more and more nervous and impatient, until Christmas came. When he was not home then she despal On New Year's Day Mr. Davenport came in a carriage and said he was out calling. I leared afterwards that he first called at my mother’s house, having seen the name in the city directory. When he found that neither myself nor John's wife were there he obtained my acdress and came to my house. He said he called to do us some good on the first day of the new year—he wWante:l to begin the year inthis way. “rs. Donahue came in at this moment, and he asked her how she wouid like to have her husband home onthe following Wednes- day. You knowthe answer the woman gave, of course. Then I took up the conversation, and he told me that was the first woman that had ever made? him come down in his price. He would now do the job for $1,000, and of this amount he would not get one cent for himself. He had to interest another party, and this party and somebody else would divide the money. He was going up to Jefferson City anyhow, aad for this reason could take the work so cheap.” “Did be name the man who was to be ed?” No sir, he did not. Nor did he seem as sure as he was at first of being successful. H said he would not ask for one cent until the y was home, and if he did not get him out he would not ask any pay. We told him again what had been done, and he remarked that all this was of no avail. Uuless we agreed to give the money and do it his way we would tail. I told him once more we could not pay so much, and he went away telling us that his address was the Southern Hotel. He taiked so much that he set John's wife nearly . She was afraid we were only fooling her, and, growing desperate, said she would pay the interest- money to Davenport despite everybody's advice to the contrary. {[ kept ber from doing so until Saturday when I went to see Mr. Jennings, who in turn went to Mr. McCullagh and told him about Davenport. Mr. McCullagh sent back wordfthat no money Should be paid. and Mr. Jennings made it plain to me that if Mr. Cullagh's influence could not accomplish the thing i would be foolish to expect anything from Davenport. Mr. Donahue had, however, in my absence sent for Davenport, but fortunately he did not come to the house until we had heard from Mr. Me- Cullagh. Just after Mr. Jennings left Mr. Daveuport came in and I put him off with the ex- cuse that we had tried to raise the money but failed. This was on Saturday evening. Tuesday Mr. Jennings went up to Jefferson City with a short note from Mr. McCullough, and on his return, Wednesday morning, sent me a few lines assuring me that the pardon would be gravted. The next day Mr. Davenport sent me two messages to call at his one by a boy, the other by a man. 1 did not gO, and in the evening he came up himself. He said he was going to Jefferson City on business on the following night, and if we—meaning John's family—could scrape up any little money he would take it and do what he could for us. I told him we could not scrape up one cent, and he left, saying there was no harm done. That was the last I saw of him. John was pardoned Saturday, just as Mr. Jennings had promised us he would be.“ Mr. Jennings was interviewed and told his end of the story. “I was working along in the case as best I knew how,” said Mr. Jennings, “and was not oniy willing but anxious to bring all the influence I couid to the case. I had already secured a promise of Mr. Me- Cullagh’s assistance, and knew that with tuis I could not possibly fail. Still, when several news- per boys came to me, one day, and told me BEN DAVENPORT was running around looking for me, and wanted to see me about getting a pardon for Donahue, Ihurried to the Southern Hotel to find him. I found him and had a talk with him, which satis- fied me that he could not do anything. He said he stood not only in a friendly, but in a most intimate attitude with Governor Crittenden, and if any man in the State could get a pardon he wasthat man. He had never asked a favor from the Governor, arid as this would, be the first, the Governor would have no hesitancy about granting it. In substantiation of his declarations of personal influence with the Governor he told me that he knew all about the police scandals of recent date, and his action through those troublous times had made him a firm and fast friend of the Governor. I cannot now recall what his attitude was in that affair or what he did. Anyhow, he did not make a suflicientiv clear state- ment of the matter to me to establish his claim on the Governor or anybody else. He @said be- cause he thought Iwasa good, sociable sort of fellow, and he had heard a great many nice things about me that he was willing to do something for my friend. Then came the subject of ex- pense. He was going to Jefferson in a few nights and it would not uire more than a mere legal fee—if they coyld raise $50 or $100 that would do just then, J tid him I did not know whether Don- ahue's folks could raise the amount, but I would find out and let him know. I never bothered the Vonahues about it, and I paid no more attention to Davenportin the matter, although I knew he had asked for $2,000 for the pardon, until Christmas Eve,when I met him at the cigar stand of the Southern Hotel. I had already told him about the influence I was using. He referred to it again in a deprecatory way. He told me to do all I could, get al! the letters and influence I could, and carry th then when I failed to come to him and he would would cost them. 1 told him they Had em enen ft ae were mene to do so. n't sure that 1 would have to go to bien co —— particularly impressed me that the the case for him the would be.

I Aan believe him, of course, because I ha pease o know something about Moore's case. en he advised me to hurry up with my case as there was very little left. I think he said, too, at this time that the Governor had made up his mind not to pardon any more prisoners, and he would have to work quickly it anything was to be done. This was the last time I saw him.’ I heard of Davenport's efforts to obtain a large sum of money for work that had been already done. looked upon the thing in a far worse light than that, and I heven’t any better opinion of it now. His intentions may have been honest," but to me and to all whom I consulted his actions did not seem strictly right. I do not desire. however, to say anything against Mr. 8 He did nothing and got nothing for “Up in Jefferson City.“ said Mr. Jennings, the air was thick with information about PARDON BROKERS, and pardon getting rings. The existence of such a business seemed to be an open secret, and once or twice I believe transactions of this kind were quietly ventilated in committee investigations. One investigation they told me was brought about in this way: A prisoner who had carried on bis negotiations through some Peniten- tiary guard paid $600 or $700 for a pardon; instead of a pardon he got only a commutation of his sen- tence. His relatives, or whoever paid the money, raised such a row about it that the brokers had to hump themselves; the commutation would not be accepted and as a result of the kick, the Governor had to be appealed to again,when a full ardon was granted, The result of the investigation I don't the inside at the know.

The inquest in the case of Captain Armstrong, killed by bis crew on board the British bark Welling- ton, Was resumed at Piymouth this afternoon, The proceedings were much delayed by a very suspicious circumstance reported of the Wellington, just as the Coroner was about to commence the hearing. Last night the bark was found stuck fast in the mud at heranchorage. Tugs were pro cured and she was pulled off and anchored else where. This morning the craft was found away from the site of the second anchorage and stranded upon the beach directly under Plymouth Hoe, be- tween the city and the Sound. She was cleared off a third time, anch and then placed under surveillance. The police suspect that those mem. bers of the crew who were more or less implicated in the killing of Armstrong, who have managed to avoid arrest,in their anxiety to help their less fortunate comrades by destroying all pos- bible evidence against them, slipped the ship's cable during the night, in the hope that the craft wouid font out, and be wrecked and sunk. The four prsoners, Charles Patterson, the first . donn Summerdyke, Jirgen Jorgensen and ( les Joes were present. Summerdyke belongs to New Jersey in the United States; Patterson to New Orleans. Jorgensen swore that Captain Armstrong the time that he met his death had been in a ate al frenzy from drink, and had been chasing % crew about the chip with a revolver. The witness and three others hid themselves below the poop-ladder, and while there awaiting Armstrong, determined to seize and overpower him. Y ben he deseended the ladder, still hunting ‘orsome one to shoot. they knocked him down, and finding he was stunned, they placed him in irons aid removed him to the cabin, where he died two hours afterwards. Charles Jones testifiea that at te time of the assault upon the captain le was fifty feet away from the scene of the scuffle. bummerdyke said he held Armstrong's legs while be was b. ing overpowe and took the revolver lum him. He ove who struck the Cap- ‘ain after he was do Patterson swore he had hothing to do with the killing and protested against he injustice of his arrest.

Referred. The House then wentinto committee of the whole, Mr. Hammond ia the chair, on the River and Harbor Biii. Mr. Mils earnestly advocated the appropriation for the proposed improvement of Galveston Harbor. The attempted improvement, so far, had resulted in failure, and the people of Texas had no confi- lence in the achievement of any measure of suc- cess, except by the plans to be pursued by Capt. Eads. Mr. Thomas thought the bill in main à fair and meritcrious one. Derby Dynamiters. Loxpow, January 31.—Later developments in the Newbold case at Derby are exciting much attention and constantly grow more serious. It is stated that the police have discovered among the prisoner's pa- per documents which reveal a dynamite plo of eensiderable magnitude. The principal letter pro- duced at the examination of the prisoner contained details of a conspiracy to blowup the Derby town ball. This letter. written from Derby, is not in Newbold's — but the envelope contalned his address penned by himself, so that the recipient might know where to send the answer. During the proceedings the prisoner was much agitated. At the time the letter was written his arrest, Newbold was employed in the Derby shops of the Midland Railway Company, and regu- larly wore the ordinary clothes of a workingman. A Warrant for Libel.

The receipts were larger than was expectead and the weather here was fairly good. But, al though the bears had everything their own way, so far as news went, there was a very good demand from the start. Lester, Schwarts & Dupee and Baker & Walker were large buyers, and for an hour took all the offerings and bid for more. The market was carried up to #344 for May by the force ot the buying, but this price brought out a great deal cf wheat from Poole & Sherman, Driver and the loca) crowd, the market broke sharply The parties who have been the prominent buyers during the last tew days again took hoid at the decline, and the rest of the day the market was firm. Receipts at ail | Westera points were 6 ears for the cay and 3.710 cars tor the week, At the close Ba xter, Schwartz & Dupee were large buyers, Corn was steady most of the dav, after a weak open! but again fell off about noon on the report that we sha t thirty-five hundred cars next week. This estimate is asedonthe quantity of new side tracks, and which the moderate weather wili allow to be brought in. The track demand keeps good, and Eastern roads have all they can do to move corn to the seaboard. Poole & Sherman, Partridge & Kammerer were free sel- lers.

New Vor PREACHERS& POSITIONS, What the Interested Pastors Have to Say About the St. George's Services. -— — — A Letter of Inquiry—Dr. Boyd's Opinion of Dr. Fulton's Paper—No Loss of Self-Re- S Pee . That the course of lectures to be given in St. George's Episcopal Church during lentis unques- tionably something new in church policy in this portion of the country is abundantly proved by the reference to it one hears on every side among church - going people, and specially among those who keep an eye on the drift of current religious thougut. The following communication shows the misconception which some people are led to form, anditis to show how inconsiderately individual judgment is sometimes formed that it is published, together with the opin- ions of some of the pastors invited to speak in St. George's. who are — Masden, Niccolls, Boyd, rill, Rhodes and Tudor. — Sr. Louis. January 30, 1885. To the Editor of the Post Dispatch: lam a member of an evangelical church, and I a would like to know on what grounds the evangeli- cal ministers are going to preach in St. George s. I have uqthing but the highest respect for the Epis- copal Church; I recognize in it the great historic church of Protestantism; but at the same time admitting all that, it seems to me a litcle singular that the preachers of my denomina- tion, and others equally evangelical should consent to speak im a church in which they would not be al- lowed to preach were it consecrated. That is, why will they takea pulpit that may some time be too good for them? Does the consecration of an ~ wd u to God make it too holy for a Met ur — chure INQUIRER. dist or Baptist? REV. DR. C. P. Union M. E. Church, a. when his attention rallied tothe inquiries of the letter, was en- Urely surprised. “Why,” said he. “I cannot under- stand why any such criticism should be excited. “Then you have no it wore wnat you are allowed rtain grace, as it were: °F.

I Machine Shorthand. THE STENOGRAPH, OR MACHINE SYSTEM OF SHORTHAND, can positively be learned in less than half the time required by the pencil system under the best instruction and management, and it is superior to the old system for office work.

Stanard & Co., Eau Claire Lumber Co., Mound City Paint Co., Pond Engineering Co., A.8. Barnes & Co., J. F. Imbs & Co., Plant Milling Co., St. L. & St. P. Packet Co., L. R & Ft. & Ry.

E. Invited to Assist the S. A. A. —_———e—— Supreme Chancellor Galennie'’s Circular to the Legion—An Address That Will Swell the Association's Funds—Irving Council's Contribution—The Movement Meeting With Great Success. There was a full attendance of the sub-committee of the Sanitary Aid Association this morning at the Mercantile Club. The progress of the movement was discussed and much satisfaction expressed. Their work closes with good accessions to the treasury, many more substantial evidences that the citizens are aroused to the great importance of the work having been received. Communications of sympathy with the cause containing remittances have been a feature of the week. The action taken by the benevolent societies has given the association a new impetus. Every individual should deem it his duty to contribute, whether a personal solicitation is made or not. There should be no failure to put this city in a first-class sani condition for the lack of funds. The following is the text of the address by Mr. Frank Gaiennie, supreme chancellor of the Legion of Honor, to its members. It is an appeal that every person should carefully read. It con- cisely and emphatically indorses the Sanitary Aid Association and points out what it may do to avert a cholera epidemic if properly sustained. It reads as follows: : “To all Members of the Legion of Honor: “Brorgers: The movement now in progress among the business men of St. Louis, to raise nds forthe improvement of the sanitary 9298 the city, is one that appeals strongly to the self-in- terest of every member of the benevolent organiza- tions. and to the members of the Legion of Honor in particular. The Sanitary Aid Association, with a reasonable supply of funds at its back, can ac- complish much to lessen the danger of a cholera epidemic in this city, if not to prevent it alto- ether. 4 „Although many members of our order are con- tributing liberally in aid of the work of the associa- tion, there are hundreds who would be 2 of an opportunity of adding their mite to the fond. A comparatively smail contribution from every mem: ber of the Legion would aggregate a very andsome sum from tbe 3.500 members of the order; and for the purpose of thus aiding a work of SUCH VITAL INTEREST to us, the Executive Board of the Supreme Council has instructed me to issue this circular letter, ask- ing for voluntary 1 from our members from 2 cents upward. “The plan suggested is to have these contributions paid by the members to their respective councils when they pay Relief Contribution No. 47. The sum so received will then be remitted to the Su- preme Council at the same time that warrant for the Relief Contribution is sent in, apd the aggregate amount contributed by each cou neil being stated in the letter of transmittal to the association. “A mite from each member, which no individual would feel, would agzregate a sum which would be a credit to the Legion of Honor, and might be the means of saving us tens of thousands of dollars in death losses. Let each member take a personal pride, as weil as a personal interest in the matter, and the result will a fine contribution in aid of the important work of sanitation in St. Louis. “Fraternally, FRANK GAIENNIE, “Supreme Chancellor.” Among the responses to the circulars sent out by the association, THE FOLLOWING was received this morning: “Sr. Lovis.

The Match Between Bryan McKenna and Joe Denning. By Telegraph to the ost- Dina. New Yors, January 31.— Several times during the past season puzilists have met with kid gloves, but probably never before has a meeting so thoroughly “kid gloved" in all its surroundings taken place as the fight between Bryan McKenna and Joe Danning last night. McKenna is a giant in size and a Hercules in strength, and some time ago proposed to stand before John L. Sullivan for four rounds. He had fouviit two bare fist battles in En- gland, and won both. Since Joe Danning stood be- fore Charlie Mitchell for four rounds, he bas been re- arded as a thoroughly game man and very skillful. e fight with Neubauer proven tbat qe was game. and his friends determined that he should meet McKenna, Several wealthy geutiaman of this city were INVITED TO SUBSCRIBE to a purse, and they. with the understand- ing that they only should witness the affair, agreed to raise $00. The preiiminary arrangements were completed sesterday, before either mdn knew he would be called to ficht, and so both were somewhat out of training. lo make the affair exclusive, one of the subseribers agreed to bave the ring mtched in the back parior of his resi- dence in Harlem. To that poin! the persons inter- ested were taken in carriages, and only fifteen men witnessed the battle. The parlor was carpeted with a pale blue axminster, and today, if examined, it wil probably be found spotted unn human blood.

Wrapped in coarse, Striped blankets, their heads covered with cloth caps six sizes too large for them, the small peaked faces peered out of their cover- ings witha moukey-like gaze at the crowd of in- guisitive Americans who gathered around. They were African earth-men or pygmies, recentiy brought bere from the region of the Congo. Until lately the existence of these people has been ques- tioned by scientific writers. but recent discoveries have proved the truth of the well-,nown assertion of Herodotus regarding the mysterious tribe of dwarfs who burrowed in the earth far back toward the center of the Dark Continent. Du Chaillu was the first modern traveler who investigated the mat- ter and saw them in their own land, and described them as being small in stature, but larger than one is led to expect from the description of Herodotus, being something over three feet and a half tall, but still they are diminutive specimens of humanity. Their flgures are slim and delicate, but very well formed. THE EARTH-WOMAN. The woman especially is capable of ’ posing for an artist asa bronze Venus.

Maids and Matrons in St. Louis Society Who Handle the Ribbons, A Number of Pretty Turnbuts to be Seen onthe Avenue—Who the Drivers Are— Sleighing Party With Lady Drivers. The mania for owning and driving fast horses costing thousands of dollars, in the East, is not confined to the gentlemen alone. but a great many ladies, noted in society for their beauty and grace in the Terpsichorean art, are quite as wel! known upon the road, where they handie the rib- bons with more skill than the average man, and take quite as much pride in their thoroughbreds and stylish rigs. Among these ladies Miss Cameron, the daughter of Sir Roder.ck Cameron, the Cana- dian New Yorker, stands prominent. driving with care and skill a magnificent pair of thoroughbreds. Miss Pussie Breeze is also noted for her driving, but sits behind a pair of ponies. Comparatively few ladies in St. Louis have caught this mania for driving, if a number of married ladies be accepted, who drive their own surreys, taking their husbands io business in the morning and hurrying them home in the evening, a wisg precaution, no doubt, in many instances. Yet there are few ladies who have STYLISH TURNOUTS, and handle the ribbons well. Mrs. Will J. Smith has a village cart of light wood, with silver trim- mings, and drives a fine Kentucky thoroughbred, mi.k white, with light harness fin.shed with silver mountings. She is a fearless driver, and may be seen any fine day with her husband or frieuds upon the road. Miss Florence Bevis, now Mrs. Longstroth, very handsome woman, tall and stately, with dark hair and eyes, has a striking turnout,:a black village cart, drawn by a large white horse, with biack and silver trappings. As she is a bride, it is not necessary to mention that her pil- grimages are usually back and forth from her husband's place of business. Mrs. Heury Siegrist, anotier bride and noted beauty, nee Minnie Laurence, presents a pretty picture on the road in her stylish little cart, black with silver mountings, drawn by a chestnut sorrel thorougibred, and is said to be a good whip. Sie also has a luxur.ous coupe with crimson satin linin:s, which she sometimes uses with a liveried coachman on the box. Mrs. Mortimer Taylor, a young matron, may often be seep upon the road with her children in a stylish T cart made of light wood with siiver and black trimmings. Her horse is a spirited, pure white thoroughbred and makes good time under her handling of the ribbons. Miss Fanita Hayward was one of the first young ladies who became the happy possessor of a village cart. She is petite in person, and so is her cart and pony. which she handies gracefully and well, usu- ally accompanied by some young lady friend, pre- senting a very aitractive picture. Miss Annie Lemp, one of tais winter's debutantes, a brunette, petite in style, wita giowing chee<s and soft brown eyes, drives a Span of Kentucky horses and bids fat to become a famous whip. Miss Clemnie Garneau aiso has a village cart of dark wood, and drives a dark bay horse with black and silver trappings. A very styiish rig is a_ cute little cart of light wood, drawn by a dap- er little mouse-colored pony, and driven vy a well known society belle. Besides these turn- outs. there are very few others driven by ladies. During the past few weeks, while the snow has afforded good sleighing, a great many ladies have made their appearance in cutters—and they have not been at ail averse to challenging the gent.ejmen for a race on Pine street. 2 — — hen a half was arran for yesterday ruoon, w — or — sleighs driven by ladies proceeded to Forest Park, to enjoy perhaps the last of this win- ter s sport.

A Passing Glance at the Theatrical Attrac- tions of the Week—Aun Actress by Absorp- — for tlon and Infusion Announcements * Next Weex — “Musical and Dramatic Notes. — — — ‘here is an impression lying around in various high places that the public want something sub- stantial on the stage, something which will furnish food for ſutelligent thought. This is a most egregious blunder. It does not want to think. It does not care to pay money for anything which will make it think. It wants titillation, tickling and no delicate touches about it either. It wants to be jabbed in the ribs hard, and it wants the point hammered in with aclub, The success of “A Rag Baby” proves this assertion. What the public wants is muscular fun, knock-down-and-drag-out business. It wanta club work and plenty of it. This is exactly the kind that the company at Pope's has been giving. Put several comical — — on the stage worked by u string, have three or four devices arran for clubbing them and hanging them about, an have some talking machines sing a few ballads and you will have the elements of great success, It will be as uproariously funny, people will laugh themselves sore over it and the shekels will pour into the treasury. All that is required is the e eek to put such a combination on the boards; the rest will follow in quick order. R * * A certain kind of wit and humor arises from horseplay, the 1 ot —4 —— ~~ the juxtaposition of opposites and co ies. ; — ——— a very aah kind, but has the adwan- tare of emphasizing its points in such a way that there is no diificulty in catching them, and the dullest mind can apprehend their full force. It is club fun. It would be absurd to deny that it ts funny at all. The public denies it by paying for it and laughing at it—more than that, by preferring it io a much higher order of amusement. While “A Raz Baby” was played to full houses Nordeck“ was played to empty benches, and there is no com- parison between them from the standpoint of dra- matic art. R K * Nothing can be said against such * because they fill a place in the dramatic world. Many peo- ple think they do enough thinking through the day und want simply to be tickled when they go to places of amusement. Everv one feels a pro- nounced desire for a hearty laugh now and then, and it must be gratified to aid digestion, maintain the mental equilibrium and offset the sterner de- mands of life's dull monotony, Still the require- ment that they compensate for lack of substance excellence of performance is a fair one. Even cab work should be well done and ham fat should be as rich and juicy as the market cau afford. “A Rag Baby” bas some very comical things about it, but it is not presented as well as it could be by any means. | There is suggestion of taking all one can get and giving as little as possible about it. ' When the performance is analyzed and sifted there is neither abiding bumor norwitinit. All that is in it vanishes with the instantaneous photo- graph onthe stage. There is nothing init that can create a laugh when repeated outside. It is all flash, dash and froth of the lightest possible or- der. The company is a a, oue, and, barring Frank Daniels’ character of “Old Sport.“ there is notrue comedy in it, although there are several entertaining specialties. 5 „ „ The truth is the very fact that none of the com- pany can do the very things they try to do is taken as side-splitting fun. There is not a respectable voice in the crowd, and yet their vocal efforts are applauded and encored. The best illustration of this point is the song and dance of Helen Reimer as Miss Pratt, the school-teacher. Miss Reimer cannct sing a note. and cannot dance a step, and yet she brings down the house. Bessie Sanson, the sou- brette of the company, is a total failure as a vocal- ist, and yet she receives an enthusiastic encore in a song which might be made a gem. Charles Drew essays a tenor solo in a voice that would cause the oldest horn in a country brass band to blush for its own powers. The idea is an original one—that of giving a musical comedy with- out a voice in the company. It is well enough to make it a farce all through. Of course, the life of the whole business lies in Frank Daniels and his dog. His character of Old Sport, although not entirely new, is eccentric and comical. His make-up is excellent, the expressions of his face are good and his actions and movements are funny. Daniels is only a year or two beyond bis majority, and promises to do some first-class comedy work before he gets through, ses Any one who examined Daniels’ Sullivan make- up must have noticed his diamonds.

The Plot of Bernhardi’s New Play as De- pieted by the Author. Interview with Sardou in Paris Neies. “It was Sarah Bernhardt who last year my old idea to me. It was asa vision. Sarah! why she is Theodora herself! What has been wanting to make her take up the role of the Byzantine em- press? A mere chance. Yes; Sarah is altogether Theodora, with her great qualities and her terrible faulis. She also resembles her exactly. Just see!” And opening a volume which was on the table, M. Sardou pointed to the production of a mosaic rep- resenting Theodora in her imperial robe. And it was in reality almost a likeness of Sarah Bern- — — recailed t. M. Sardou then gave an account of his various studies, and exhibited, among other interesting sketches, etc., a plan of the hippodrome at Byzan- tium, which was capable of containing 100.40 peo- ple. In the piece the imperial lodge is faithfully produced. “The famous Nika revolt is the event of the reign chosen fur the principal motive of the plot. Life was idied away at the hippodrome, where horse races were the order of the day. Societies, regular racing clubs, were organized to buy horses and to run them. The two great rival societies were the greens and the blues. so called from the colors woru by the drivers of the chariots. “soon these two rival parties at the hipprodrome had become political parties, whose rivalry was ac- centuated by the fact that Justinian and Theo- dora protected the blues. Theodora was the daughier of the guardian of the wild beasts at the hippedr me, calied the master of the bears. and —— was a blue. Theodora remained true to the Mutes. —— 1 — Stones, too. The love of diamonds is a passion with him, and he will spend every nickel and draw ahead | on his salary to buy one that catches his fancy. He | is always on the lookout fora rare stone, and has | invested about $10,000 in the gems. *** In direct opposition to “A Rag Baby” is Nor- deck,“ Frank Mayo'’s play, which has been run umg this week at the People’s. Nordeck is nearly as beavy as the other s light, and it is chiefly notable for the absence of the very things that the other depends onfor its success. The truth is, as it is now put on the boards, Nor- deck“ bas very little fun of any kind in it. although there are exceilent possibiliiies for comedy in several characters, which could be developed and were doubtless intended to be developed by the au- thors. Asthe play stands, Mr. Taylor as Witold, gives nearly ail of the comedy in the performance, while the two characters especially created for the purpose, and with no otber raison d'etre, fall tat. *e fF Herr Fabian, the tutor of Waldemar, is evidently intended to be a character after the order of the Secretary in the Madison Square production. He is intended to represent a simple-minded, ingenuous innocent voung man, Who knows nothing but his Books and his studies, and Margaret is evidently intended, while serving | as the one gentile influence in Waldemar's eariy life to be the coquette who plays fast and loose with this innocent student's heart but no one would ever know this from the char. acters as pictured by Edwiu Mayo and Miss Sallie Williams. They have both taken a Digger bite than they can masticate, but then they are both very young as yet, A little fun essentially con- nected with the parts shows itself in spite of their effurts to keep it down. *** Henrietta Vaders appears tome to be a good actress partiy by absorption and infusion. Divest Janauschek of that subtle quality called genius, and the result would be Vaders. On the other hand infuse some genius — 1 me power into Vaders, and the result would Janauschek. In Vaders’ acting the randeur of pose and movement, the @ignity of ring, the strength of delivery and all of the outward dramatic requirements are present, but the fire and the force are lacking. There is a sug- gestion of a framework a little bit too large for the machinery inside. This alwavs brings a sense of disappointment, One feels after in her best scenes that she ought to be reatly great, and yet, she is not. There Also is a noticeable lack of delicate perception and Shading. She can be strong, but she cannot ade- quately express the subtler emotions of the human mind.

This was the cause of considerable disturbance in the town. and the police arrested the ringleaders, whether blues or greens The blues appealed to Justinian, who. being tired of the excesses, refused to hberate their friends. The next day when the emperor entered his lodge at the hippodrome, he found 100,000 peopie shouting and gesticulating. A curious usage permitted’ the people to speak to the emperor while in his lodge at the hippodrome. It was only in that place that the people could make complaints against the taxes or the high prices of food. On this occasion the em peror, as soon as be entered the lodge, was loudly called upon by the greens and the bines, and the shouts soon became insults. The tumult increased and Justinian regained his palace with diffi “alty. The whole town was in insurrection; fires broke out at different points, and the imperial paiace was be- sieged. The council of ministers met, all. including Justinian and Belisarius, proposed a cowardly course. They wanted toembark from the palace and make for the coast of Asia. Theodora alone resisted; she wanted to die an Empress. “Theodora triumphed. Belisarius left the palace at the head of his Goths. and tried to penetrate into the town, but fires from all sides prevented him from advancing. The populace threw boiling oil and pitch upon the soldiers. He made a last ef- fort. Ailthe rebels had metat the hippodrome, and were busy crowning a new Emperor, — Belisarius hid some of his troops near the four doors of the hippodrome and then penetrated him- self into the place by the principal en‘rance az their head. A terrific panic followed. At the same time the other doors were attacked and the 100,000 rebels crushed one another within the circus. The Goths of Belisarius had only to strike at the mass. Thirty thousand ies were afterward removed. “My drama starts from this point. The word nika, which has given the name to the rebellion. was the cry of the re % ; } Actresses in Society. Labouchere in London Truth. Mr. Bernand bas an article in the Fortnightly in which he ridicules the mania on the part ot some actors and actresses to be received in Society,. and points out that for them to be fearfully indig- nant with society at large for refusing to acknow}- edge this groyndless claim, is degrading to an art which should be independent. In this 1 entirely agree with him. There are actors and actress eS who are received for individual reasons, but to sav that the whole profession is insulted if all in it are not regarded as fine ladies and fine gentlemen. is is as absurd as it would be for acrobats and circus clowns to put forward such a pretension. An actress with a society craze on her is a very laughable % ject. She picks up with one or two ladies on the outside edge of society. She explains to them that she really cannot associate with other ac- tresses, and if, by pushing aud touting. she Can manage to be invited to a few official! or fashionable crushes, she imagines that she has entered Para- dise.

The great constitutional lawyer appears but seldom in court, though his ad- vice as a egal counselor is still extensively sought.

It happens that Bill Morrison, now a leading Senatorial candidate. made his debut in polities thirty years ago as a United States Senator, when Lincoln was the Whig and General Shields the Dervocratic candidate. Tr is a little curious that Gen. John M. Palmer. who is also a candidate for Senatorial honors now, was one of the five Freesoil Democrats whe, by voting as a unit for Trumbull, forced the Republicans to take him up after aban- douing Lincuin. * „ * “Iwas reading the account of Schuyler Colfax's | funeral in the Tunes,” said an Indiana politician, as he conversed with a group in the Grand Pacific, ‘and it reminded me of the bitter reiations which for a long time existed between Storey and Colfax.

But Colfax velieved that Storey could never forgive him for establishing the successful country weekly where two could not thrive. « * Hearing Mark Twain read the other evening at Central Music lial, I was reminded of a story which is fold ow him. but which had its real toundation. “so they say,” in the experience of one of our best known and best liked Chicago journalists. Guy Magee is the man in question, and it is said of him that one night—at least a hundred years ago, when Guy was full of reportorial zeal— gong home from the Tribune offtce. he found a man lying dead on the sidewalk. Hege was a sensation, but what to do with iv was the question, for the paper had gone to press. It was plain thatthe “sensation” had to be saved until next day; so Guy stowed it away under the sidewalk, and next moruing discovered the corpse again and the Tribune came out with a mag- nificent double-leaded “‘scoop” three columns long— “Appalling Discovery.“ ete., etc. “Yes,” said a friend to wnom I had mentioned the auecdote, “I've heard the same yarn told about Mark Twain. It is not as good, however, as the story that one day, out in San Francisco, being sadly out of news matter, he discovered some men hanging a fellow up to a lanw- post, whereupon he rrn upto them with tears of gratitude in his eyes, and shook their hands and thanked them for fur- nishing him an item.“ * „* „ Mark Twain, it seems, is a very nial, mod- est sort of a fellow. and likes a convivial time with iriends. A few years, ago, when he was here, a comtnitiee of newspaper men walted upon him — tendered some sort of entertainment in his be- aif.

At last—just before 2 o’clock—the manager rose abruptly and said with a loud voice: “The bank is broken, gentlemen! It is enough for to-day!” With one bound Lucien sprang to his feet. Pushing aside without ceremony the players who surrounded him and who watched him with envious admiration, he left hastily, de- scended the stairs at full speed, and ran to the stone bench.

The early death of Maharana of Udaipur has attracted considerable attention. At one time his reign seemed full of promise, but of late his continued illness, and the effect of the remedies to which he had resort in order to deaden his pain, prevented him from taking an active part in the government of his large ter- ritories. The Mewar dynasty is, without any comparison, the most ancient in India, and the chief representative of the ancient Sesobad race is regarded with extraordinary respect by all true Rajputs. The premature death of the late Maharana without issue has furnished another example of the continuity of the curse said to have been invoked upon the chiefs of Mewar some five generatic ms ago, owing to some informality or irregularity on an occasion of the futtee of the widows of a then recently deceased chief. The curse was to the effect that no future Maharana should ever leave a son to succeed him, and since then the ruling chiefs have one and ail died without issue. The choice of the widowed Ranees nobles has fallen upon Futech Sing, cousin of the late Maharana. The new Maharana (whose elec- tion requires the confirmation of the Govern- ment of India) is a fine intelligent youth, aged about 21.

From stores a Faire eur.“ It was six vearsago; and I had then been two vears a widow. You know whether 1 loved my hvysband; you still remember, I am I still wore mourning for him. My daughter was five vears old. We were both visiting some country friends, at the house of old Madame Matouchka, whom vou ali know, and who lived about twelve vesrts from Moscow. She had determined to get me married again; and in the hope of maturing her designs she had in- vited me to pass the first half of the autumn season at her place. The only circumstances which could have justified anybody in speaking to me of a second marriage Was that all my fortune had been in- vested in certain manufacturing enterprises | once very lucrative, but at the time 1 speak of gradually diminishing in finapfial importance — —E—ä ́ through the lack of Urm and skillful manage- ment. had not been in the country-residence I spoke of quite twenty-four hours when a friend of my hostess came to ask her hospitality—a Frenchman, quite a handsome young fellow, and highly educated—a graduate of the Ecole Centrale. I had always liked the French, without regarding their protestations as alto- cether sincere. They are quite charming, too—the desert of the human species, or cer- tainiv the,entremels. At least t now tell you what lL used to think of them in those days. Still, I had always been told that while the French make the most adorable lovers in the whole world, they make the most execrable husbands imaginable. Such were our ideas in Russia. Well, this young man, M. Claude Marbillot, had completed his studies with the highest honors, and only needed a small financial start in order to make his fortune. Madame Matouchka, who wished him well, immediately thought of me. I did not immediately compre- hend my danger, and exposed myself to it with absolute Innocence. M. Marbillot rode very well indeed; we used to take our hour's ride through the country every morning. M. Marbillot sang quite agreeably ; our even- ings were spent at the piano in the execution of duets. M. Marbillot knew a host of fairy-tales and children’s games—the funniest things conceiv- able. He could cut out paper men as well as anybody, and was never afraid to go down upon all fours in order to play at wolf;“ my little daughter would cry if she passed only five or six hours without seeing him. | M. Marbillot was in constant correspondence with the most eminent engineers and scien- tists in the whole world. very morning at breakfast time. when the mail was brought to him, he would hurriedly glance ut the enve- lopes and exclaim: “It’s from. that dear old De Lesseps,”"—or: ‘** At last'—here is the reply of my friend Edison,”—or: Here is a note from my dear friend Pasteur.” So finally, one day, Madame Matouchka, doubtless thinking ILhad become sufficiently fascinated, said to me: —‘‘Haikona, there's just the husband you want :—vou will never be able to find a better one. That voung Frenchman is just charming, very. charming I think, and so well educated and so full of good positive poetical knowl- edge. He needs only one thing to make him perfect—a nice wife ike you! Why heswears by your name; he is always talking about the beautiful Haikona. And if you have as much good common sense as vou have charms and fine qualities, your wedding will be celebrated in less than a month.“ Now this brusque attack upon me proved avery unfortunate thing for Madame Ma- touchka’s protege. It suddenly illuminated the path I had been unconsciously traveling. I was thoroughly frightened wien I found how far I had gone already, and still more fright- ened when I reflected how few steps there re- mained for me to take in order to become Madame Marbillot. From that moment the combat proceeded with all batteries unmasked. The postulant openly declared his pretensions. The old lady became absolutely annoying. At first I endeavored to call to my aid the memory of my dead husband. But this plan I was soon obliged to give up, for the good reason that such a sentimental proceeding 2 provoked comparisons which were all to the ad- vantage of the newcomer. There is no better trump-card in a wooer’s game than the mere fact that he is playing against a dead man. Finally one day, a to the last ex- tremity, I demanded to be left alone for twenty- four hours in order to reflect calmly about the matter and make a decision. It was previous- ly agreed upon that in case of refusal, M. Mar- billot should leave at once without asking for reasons, I must confess I was very much puzzled. The hands of the clock seemed to run around the dial with crazy swiftness; there were much tewer seconds in those minutes, I thought, than in ordinary minutes. At 11 oclock I went to bed—although, as you may weil suppose, I had not the least feel- ing of sleepiness! My little daughter slept in a cradle—quite close to my bed, She was 5 years old.. . I think I told you so before. At this very moment I can see that room again just as plainly as it I were in it;—the wateh-light that dimly illumi the chamber;—the windows, look out upon the past, their lower panes by the silhouettes of shrubbery without; their up- per portion showing a gray sky specked with stars. The portraits nailed to the wall looked at each other smilingly as though they wished to say “good-night” before closing their eyelids of canvas or paper, I can hear the tic- ticof that clock, and the regular breathing of my little girl.... “er Perbaps I had been weighing the pros and cons ot my dilemma for about two hours, when, turning suddenly on my side, toward the edge of the , L said to myself:— , —‘No:—I will never give my child a step- father....” ; Just then (I am sees, ¢ you the truth) I saw just as distinctly as I, you now—Andre, my dead husband, smiling at me, standing be- tween the bed and the wall.

I was so afraid to be alone at night that I would have married the devil himself.” QUATTRELLES. An English View of Napoleon. The following extracts are from a review in the London Times of the recentiv published “Selections from the Letters and Despatches of the First Napoleon :” ‘ It is because the France of to-lay is so essen- tially Napoleon's creation that the life and let- ters of this extraordinary man remain of such living interest. Amid all changes of dynasties and regimes the political and municipal insti- tutions of France have altered very little dur- ing the present century, while those of this country have been undergoing continuous evolution, and the principle by which these in- stitutions are worked—that is, the maintenance of ubiquitous State control—have never varied at all. whetber the rulers of the nations were monarchs or republicans, The Concordat, which still regulates tne relations between Church and State. was Napoleon's work; he organized the University and lycee system much as it flourishes now; the codes of civiland criminal jurisprudence and procedure; the judicature, maguistracy, police system; the municipal charters of, the Com: munes under their Mayors, and the depart- ments under the Prefects remain very much as he established them. The Assistance Publique. by which the Government has coutroi over all hospitals and charities; the Legion of Honor, so influential asa means of rewarding small as well as great services to the State, of keeping public servants in good behavior, and of cor- rupting opponents—these also are Napoleonic foundations; in short, the immense but won- derfully simple mechanism of centralization which has enabled the Tnird Republic so thor- oughly to consolidate itself in afew years, is entirely a contrivance of the Corsican Emper- or’s. Well-wishers of the Republic might de- sire that Napoleonic principles were less in fa- vor at this time, for the great danger of the fut- ure lies in this—that the republican rulers may not be wise enough to relax the system of centralization, pow that it has done for them all it can do. It is an admirable instrument with which to found a new regime; but if Na- poleon had reigned thirty years instead of fif- teen, he would no doubt have perceived that a system which places immediate and irresistible power in the hands of any faction which can overthrow the Government in Paris, has no conservative elements, but offers a permanent incentive to revolutions. The truth is that Napoleon uprose at a time when France yearned for a determined ruler. The reign of Louis XVI. had been a period of national fever, the revolutionary epoch one of delirium. Stern asthe Emperor's rule was, it seemed mild beside the anarchy which had gone before; and Napoleon's personal charac- ter, even in its worst features, compared ad- vantageously with the natures of the men who had held France in bondage and terror for years. is arrogance was no greater than Louis XV.’s, his cruelty less than Robe- spierre’s; while his duplicity and meanness— for he was very mean at times—were more than matched by Barras’. He had the or- ganizing genius of Carnot—the only states- man of the First Republic—without the latter's pedantry and moral cowardice; and Danton’s eloquence without his coarseness and blundering temerity. That without any apparent political training he should have been able to beat Sieyes at Consti- tution making, ‘that he should have taught diplomatic wiles to Talleyrand, and have si- lenced two Popes in theological controversy, proves that he is no mere soldier of fortune who picked upa crown in a scramble, and, wearing it, looked ludicrous under the misfit. Talleyrand called him maleleve;“ Madame de Stael laughed at his mistakes in etiquette; Madame de Remusat has written that he was an object of aversion to ladies. But his man- ners had certainly no more soldierly brusque- ness than Frederick the Great's; if he sometimes said rude things to the ladies of his Court, so by St. S¥non’s account did Louis XIV; his gen- eral demeanor had far more thanrof majesty George III's, and in fact he could only be said te look like a parvenu if his bearing were com- pared with some rarely-realized ideal of king- ship. We know that most of Louis XIV's let- ters, 80 magnificently stilted in their style, were asm ee for him by his secretary, Rose; but Napoleon wrote all his own letters, and the story that he took lessons in declamation from Talma admits of some qualification, for the great trayedian, in playing the part of Auguste after the fall of the Empire, always made him- self up to look, walk, and speak like Napoleon. Napoleon's letters to other potentates were al- most perfect in their dignified brevity, straight- forwardness, and elevation of ge. Even when he stormed his speech had the ri of genuine thunder, not_of stage metpl. hen he tells the Comte de Provence (afterwards Louis XVIII.) that his Royal Highness can have no wish to return to ce, as he would have to march over the bodies of 100,000 dead to do so; when he re- minds Francis II. of Austria that a Haps- burg's word should have no double meaning: when he grandly accepts Alexander I.’s friend- ship and pledges his own conditionally, we feel that his — could not be improved upon. His short, trenchant letters of admonition and reproof to his crowned brothers, Louis and Joseph, are also very good. * * * Readers of Captain Bingham's three volumes may gather at every page other examples ol the cunning which marked that strange genius whose character has defaced without indenting the granite on which his reputation as a ruler stands firmly fixed, In the field or in the drawing room, with the rabble or amid the rre of kings at Dresden, wearing the Jacobin bonnet or the crown of Charlemagne, browbeating a pope or wedding a Hapsburg, dictating peace to the Czar on raft at Tilsit or contemplating ruin with his arms folded at Waterloo—Napoleon was always pre-emune ntly a master. It is no co i reflection, how- ever, that he wasserved most ardently by those who were least blind to his colossal selfishness, and so many are the hero-worshipers of our own day that a uew Napoleon might bly do again all that the First did, es it he prefaced his reign by another Jena. | } preachers, W — WISCONSIN'S BORGIA. A Family That Dropped Off Mys- teriously, Member by Member. — Traced to a Daughter and Sister—Pretty Nellie Horan, Poisoner. Whitewater, Wis., Svecial to Courier-Journal. In a few days the attorney for Miss Nellie Horan, who is in jail on the terrible charge of murdering her sister, will ask the Circuit J udge at Elkhorn to fix the amount of bail which his fair client will be required to give to secure her — until her case is call tor trial. The roliminary examination of the young lad asted six or seven days, and at its. pone, Pe wd she was committed to jail to await trial in the Criminal Court. The cage is one of extraordi- nary interest, and has few parallels in the criminal history of the country. Miss Nellie Horan is unusually good looking, about 25 = years old, tive feet nine inches tall, and is of graceful, siender build. She was considered of excellent morals until the charge of poisoning her sister was brought against her. The evidence of a dozen unimpeachable witnesses during the pre- Utminary trial was direct and strong against the unhappy young woman. It was clearly proven that she had purchased strychnine the ay be- fore her sister died, and that she became in- sanely excited when informed that it had been decided to hold a post- mortem examination on the sister’s remains to determine the cause of death. She even threatened to kiil the Sheriff when told that a post-mortem would have to be held. A web of most damning evidence was woven around her. Miss Horan fainted several times during the preliminary examination, and the case proved an excepuionally sensational one. When the prosecution aunounced that the testimony for the State was ail in, the defense announced that no Witnesses would be called until the formal trial, which will begin in a few weeks. The prisoner was committed to the county jail until the motion for bail was decided, and the matter will be officially disposed of on Wednesday, as aiready stated. Miss Horan will undoubtedly be convicted, and is almost sure to geta life sentence in State’s prison. Capital punishment is not in vogue in this State, or she would stand a splendid chance of going to the gallows. The crime with which Miss Horan is charged isamost diabolical one. It is not only the poisuning of her sister, but of her whole fam- ilv. If che is guilty of poisoning ber sister Aunie, the last victim, she is undoubtedly guilty of killing her father, mother and another sister inthe same way. Two years ago the father and mother died very suddenly, and the story got around some months after their death that they had been poisoned. Their re- mains were exhumed, but it was too late to de- termine the cause of their deaths. Later a sis- ter had died in amost mysterious manner and her death was never accounted for. Nellie Horan stood so well and was so much thought of that no one ever suspected her, and matters ran along until last December, when Miss Annie Horan died under such circumstances that an investigation was made, which resulted in the arrest of the sister. The Coroner's jury a an inquest, retnrning the following ver- ict: ‘**We find that Annie Horan came to her death on December 3, and that she came to her death by means of being poisoned by strychnine, and that said Annie Horan was murdered at White- water, Wis., in the manner aforesaid, and that we do hereby charge Nellie Horan with the crime of committing the murder, and recom- mend that she be dealt with according to law.“ The arrest of the suspected sister followed, and she was kept under close guard at her home, being too ill to leave her bed, until the result of the preliminary examinion was known, when she was removed to the village jail. The case has attracted widespread attention, and the re- sult of the trial will be closely watched by the reading public. The prisoner was for some time a successful school teacher. Two years ago she was en- gaged to a well-to-do young merchant named Frank Richardson. The wedding day was set, and Miss Horan’s trousseau was ready, The day before the time set for the happy event Richardson suddenly left town, and the wed- ding was declared off. No explanation was ever made, and the young man took up his residence in a neighboring town. After this unhappy affair Miss Horan became a — setter, and worked for some time in the office of the Whitewater Register, where she was en- gaged up to within a short time of the death of her sister Annie.

THE BOY'S PROFESSION. Let Him Follow the Natural Bent of His Mind and He Will Succeed. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. Parents often make grave mistakes by choos- ing professions for their sons without reference to their fitness. A man who has risen from poverty or the lower levels of business life to comparative wealth does not care to have his sons pass through all that he experienced. It is not necessary that they should. Let them profit by his hard-earned knowledge. Some men do not seem to know how to make this knowledge available for their sons. Instead of endowing them with a knowledge of how to make money and how to use it to the best ad- vantage, they give them all they want of it. Boys instinctively know how to spend money, Some of the most noted spendthrifts and to- tal wrecks are the sons of men who made their fortunes by hard work and the closest economy. Through a desire to see their sons enjoy the fruits of their labor, they made gentlemen of them instead of business men. A boy with a decided taste or aptness for any calling is easily disposed of. It is the one with no special genius who is hard to fix. Such a one is usually a good-all-round scholar, can make a sled, tinker a sewing machine, play the piano, make a passable drawing, dance well, write a fair — short, do almost any- thing tolerably well. Now what * to be done with such a chap? He does not play the fiddle well enough to make a good living fiddling; his sketches are not strong enough to guarantee success as an artist; his pen is scarcely trenchant en h to justify making an_ editor of him; his skill as a tinker does not indicate any special mechanical genius—in short, the suriace dications are in a manner useless, none of them bei enough to — — an investment! t is to done with ? mt he has no money and has to make his own way inthe world, perhaps the best thing is to pay strict attention to his habits and his morals and let e Being forced to earn his own bread, he will v. ane Ses Seen in -whic is comparatively comfortable. 1 if he in 5 — — he — wed ö r not probab have to work for a ving ae walt cot tentedly for something to turn up.

While it may not be clear waste to make either out of a mixed stick, the chances are the re- sult will never be considered a great suc- cess. Well formed habits and good morals consti- tute the best start a jack-of-all-trades can have. With these there is but little danger of his go- ing to the bad, even if he does not make a great hit in life. Without these he is just as liable to go down the hill as up, to sink as to swim. worst mistake made by parents are when — pay no attention to the surface indications and set their sons up in profession because they want to see then: there. Some do this when they are morally certain the place is not — to them. Failure in such cases is inevit- Stanford's Start in Life. From the Chicago Herald. Three or four Wisconsin men were discussing political matters at the Palmer last evening when one of them, a thin-faced old farmer from Ww ashington County. said: Mos talk a * deal about these rich fellers getin into the United States Senate, but let me tell you something. There’s Leland Stanford of California, who's just been elected. He's worth millions and millions, yet I knew him thirty years ago, when he didn’t have more'n one sbirt to his back.” Where was that?’ everybody asked, as it it had never occurred to the listeners that a rich man could ever have been poor. _ “Right up in my county. Some time along in 1852 or 1853 an ornary-looking sort of a chap came into Port Washington on foot and hung up ashingle as a lawyer. That was Leland Stanford. He traveled light. He didn't have enough baggage to fill a pill box, but he had cheek enough for some whole States. He was a howling Democrat at that time and in some way he got the nomination for District Attor- ney. Everybody supposed he would be elected : but a few days before election another man en- tered the field as an independent and he cleaned Stanford out. That was probably about the bluest day Stanford ever saw. He swore that Wisconsin was the meanest State and Wash- ington the meanest county in the Republic. Bidding three or four of his friends good-by he teft town as empty handed as he came, and we never saw him again. He went out West, ac- cumulated a little money as a lawyer, invested $1,500 in the overland roads and then built them with Government lands and the proceeds of Government bonds. I s’pose he's worth $50,000,000, and I reckon if he wanted to be uting Attorney up our way now he'd be able to pull through.” A Genuine Heroine. From the Philadelphia Call.

The hair is fashionably and de rigueur dressed high. style will be worn in the early spring. Stripes of all widths will again be worn, but not so fashionable as plaids and checks. Silver and gilt threads in the braids worn on cashmere suits make them stylish and dressy. Orange red and corn-bloom blue are the favorite colors for pug dogs’ neckties and shoulder knots. Cloth costumes grow in favor as the winter advances. and lighter cloths are on the counter for spring wear. Fur-trimmed dresses are worn, but velvet and plush are more used than anything for cloth or cheviot suits except braid and machine stitching.

The week bas closed with a most happy aod praisewortby solution of the base-ball situation apd Messrs. Von der Ahe and Lucas have so far ad- justed their difficulties that io future they will be under the same agreement aad rules which will protect them ip keeping their players and which does away with the menace of contract breaking, which was one of the worst results of the institu- tion of the Union Association. In this connection | I think it issafe to say that men like Glasscock, Briody, McCormick, Dolan and Sweeny are not apt to play ball again. Whatever may be done in such cases where the reserve rule was simply broken there may besuch a thing as reinstatement—al- though these cases will come under the action of the arbitration committee, the national agreement appiying to them particularly. There will be some very interesting wrinkles in base-ball matters dur- ing the next two months. and the cranks and gossips will find plenty of bel- lows for chin music until field practice opens. see I am inel ned tu think that it was more in the way of a desire to please the public that Mr. Von der Ahe gave in’ his consent to Mr. Lucas’ admission than anythin else. There has been y —— . of rubbish written re- ing the fear the Browns’ manage- ment entertained regarding a meeting witn the Lu- casteam. The St. Louis Club is one of the most perfectly equipped in the country and is looked up OD as a most powerful comoination in League and other circles as well as in the American Associa- tion. Mr. Lucas is a capable, enterprising and tib- era! manager and will lose no opportunity to put bis team in the proper sort of condition to cope with their loca! rivals and an nists. It is, there- fore. in order to look for one of the most exc ting peries of games ever played in St. Louis, aud the trouble will be in finding accommodation for tue multitudes who will throng to see them. eee It was a shrewd and characteristic bit of policy on the part of Mr. Von der Ahe and his coadjutors to exact from the Leacue people a stipujation granting them the privilege of placing an American Association team in Boston and Chicago. These are grea’ centers, and as the American magnates observed wits unanswerable logic, the same rule applies to those communities as to St. Louis. There is no doubt but that in ‘86 there will be pow- erful American clubs in both of those cities. Messrs. Soden and Spalding were such strong advocates in favor of Mr. Lucas’ admission tnat they cannot consistently withhold their indorsement of the scheu It is extremely likely that the Von der Abe and Lucas directors will have a meeting very shortly and arrange for their series. No doubt a spring and a fall series of games will be arranged, probably to consist of nine mes each. Durmg the season es- pecial pains well be taken in arranging the »chedules u as to avod conflict of date in those cities hold- ing a League and an American club. So that St. Louis will have a continued abundance of good bail laying, and whiie the Cincinnati, Louisville, Pitts- urg. Baltimore, Athletic, Brooklyn and Metropo i- tans are booked for early dates, the Browns’ trips away from home wil be filiedin with visits from the Chicago. Detroit, Buffalo, Providence, Philadelphia, New York and Boston League clubs, to whom the Lucas team will bea at home. The season is closing in, and in a very short time matters will be in readi- ness for a start. ee Mr. St. John is going to put in some big work at Creve Cour Lake, and aquatics will cut a very important figure iu local sporting matters. Jake Gaudaur will, of course. represent St. Louis interests in a professional way on the water, and will pay particular attention to both Wallace Ross end John Teemer, accommodating the Canadian first. The McKeesport man having got rid of some very objectionabie surroundings, will be in a con- dition to redeem simseif from his suspicious ac ion of last fall. He will neither give Gaudaur, however, | again.” a start af five or of one second, and they will row on even terms. sf I want to call attention tothe exhibition to be given at the Missouri Gymnasium on Wednesday evening next. Superiniendent Stockwell has ar- ranged a yery Interesting programme of class aud individual exercises, and the best talent of the m- stitution will be represented, inc uding some of the graduates. I hope the nall will be as crowded as | the affair and the worthy director deserve. ; Ix1oNn. The Reserve-RKule Violations. Now thatthere is no club in the country which can give employment to a plaver who breaks the re. terve- rule. would it not be well onthe part of the League and the American Association to condone the offenses of the “reserve-rule jumpers,” and re- instate them? If necessary. afine might be im- posed on such of them as caused a loss to the clubs they left by their violation of the ru e. It is certain- ly not just to mete out to this class of players the same penalty as that inflicted upon cootract-break- ers. Themen who violated the reserve rule com mitted a venial offence in comparison. We hope to | see Dunlap, Schaffer and others of the reserve-rule — any reinstated atthe March meetings of the | eague and Americau Association. It would bea fitting recognition of the narrow escape the Natio:al Agreement had from destruction to forgive che re- serve-jumpers, and shake hands all around. The prominent plavers who jumped the recerve- rule 1884 were Fred Dunlap and Huch Daily. from the Cleveland (Club; Geo Shaffer from the | Buffalo, John Gleason from the Louisville, Geo. W. Bradiey from the Athletic, and B vie from the Ac. tive of Reading. Those who broke their contracts were McCormick, Bricdy and Glasscock from the Cleveland Club.
